Trump: "Obama is so divisive!" Oh, the irony...

It cracks me up to hear GOP frontrunner Donald Trump label President Obama as divisive. That declaration has to be a finalist for Most Ironic Statement of the Year, and we're only in March.

Just today, I heard Trump speaking at a rally in Dayton, Ohio, where he said, "President Obama is so so divisive. I'm a unifier, a uniter, and he's a divider."

I'm sorry, but what kind of drugs is this man taking? Whatever they are, remind me to never consume them. During his campaign, Donald Trump has insulted the following groups/individuals: Muslims, Mexicans, Jews, women, blacks, Asians, veterans, the disabled, protesters, the media, moderators, all of his Republican and Democratic opponents, fact-checkers, etc. Given his offensive, divisive rhetoric, it makes it seem as though Trump made a bet with 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney.

Trump: "So, like, uh, you know you lost the election because you offended 47% of the voters with your taxpayers-moochers comment, right?"

Romney: "That's possible. What's your point?"

Trump: "I bet you a million dollars I can offend twice that - 90%, or whatever the number is - of the voters and win the presidency!"

Romney: "You're on!"

Trump: "You're so going down like Trump Steaks!"

Donald Trump has offended almost every demographic in this country, yet he has the gall to label President Obama divisive? Why? Because he's tried to cover more people with health insurance? Because he's gone after and killed Osama bin Laden? Because he's called on police officers to be accountable for their actions, just like the rest of American citizens? He's sought to decrease gun violence? He's sought to reverse the trends of global warming to improve our environment's health and well-being? He's embraced science? He's helped the expansion of LGBT rights? He's attempted to fight for women's equality? He's been more hesitant on going to war than his predecessor? He's helped create more jobs than both Bush's combined during their 12 years in the Oval Office? He's been open and honest about how black Americans are treated differently at times than whites? He's tried starting a conversation about the expanding pay-gap in this country? Tell me, Mr. Trump, how is President Obama more divisive than you?

Trump: "Islam hates America. Most Muslims hate America. We need to at least temporarily ban Muslims from coming into this country. Not only that, but we need to build a big beautiful wall along our southern border, so we can keep out all those drug-dealing rapist Mexicans! We also need to deport all illegal immigrants. What else? What else? Carly Fiorina is pretty ugly, Megyn Kelly is a phony b*tch, but one woman I love is my daughter. She's so beautiful. I tell you what, if she weren't my daughter, I'd so bang that. You know who talks kind of funny? Asians. Jews are only good at one thing - negotiating. POWs are pansies. Look, if you get caught, you're a pansy; it's as simple as that. I love the blacks, but let's be honest for a second here. Actually, hold that thought. I'm going to retweet a white supremacist's claims on my Twitter page and blame an intern. Just read that and you'll become well educated about the blacks, people! Speaking of good-for-nothings, the media and fact-checkers, with all their fancy questions and facts, are the most dishonest, despicable people on the face of the earth! ...and protesters? You know what? If you run into any of these low-lifes, you have my permission to hit them. I'll even pay for your legal fees. That's a promise. That's a promise. Lastly, I'm going to give my exaggerated impression of a retard, I mean, a mentally, eh, whatever..."

Yeah, President Obama is more divisive than Donald Trump. That'd be like saying sloths are quicker than cheetahs...

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
